Wholly Undead 216 Temptations Of The Yellow Sign

"...Is that what you call him? Yoggi?" a.s.stur asked with a serious tone.

"Yeah...?" Jack admitted, slightly confused.

"PFFT~!" a.s.stur seemed to make a sound as if he was spraying drink from his mouth... Though Jack couldn't see anything within the darkness of his Yellow hood, and what followed was a creepy laugh. Laughter erupted from the theater.

As if the sounds of a creaking house in the dead of night could laugh, this was the shrill sound that echoed from what sounded to be many beings, though Jack could see none around him, but the Yellow hooded a.s.stur in front of him.

"And he's okay with being called that?!" a.s.stur caught up to ask again.

"Well, he wasn't too keen on it, but I guess he lives with it." Jack shrugged, wondering if there was a joke he missed.

A bit of laughter followed before a.s.stur stood up from his seat. He then took a step and appeared to the side of Jack, where he then threw his yellow-robed arm around Jack's neck.

"I have to admit... I see why my brother likes you." a.s.stur confessed.

"I have a question... Well, I actually have a dozen, but I have to ask... Why are you calling him brother? Isn't he like your father or something?" Jack scratched his bald head while feeling strange p.r.i.c.kling pain along his shoulder bones and spine that was being touched by a.s.stur.

"f.u.c.k no, he's not my father. Uh, excuse my language. I'm a son of the Blind Idiot G.o.d like everyone else. My brother is more keen on everyone's lineage than I am... As for the rest of your questions... I'll answer one more before We need to get back to the topic of me obtaining that Dark Young." a.s.stur spoke with some amus.e.m.e.nt, showing that he was in a good mood for whatever strange reason.

Jack floated forward from a.s.stur's over the shoulder hug, as the p.r.i.c.kling pain began to spread from his shoulders and next to the rest of him.

"Then... Where am I, and how did I get here?" Jack asked.

"That's actually two questions, but close enough for me... You're in my City of Carcosa, and I brought you here to trade for the Dark Young," a.s.stur spoke followed by that creepy laugh.

"I see... Car-Co-Sah..." Jack continued to think to himself, as he spoke along.

"You already know what I'm after, but it seems that maybe I haven't provided enough incentive to trade, is it? What is it that you want?" a.s.stur spread out his arms in a "T" Pose, as he floated into the sky, as he continued to speak.

[n.o.body:

Not a single f.u.c.king person:

a.s.stur: Imma just T-Pose on ya boy...] Jack retorted in his mind, as he watched a.s.stur ascend into the saffron skies.

"I can offer riches that you have never seen or dreamed!!! But why tell you, when I can show you!" a.s.stur's voice shook the realm, as he laughed again like a legion of rats chattered at the sight of a feast.

Jack was plotting his next move, when a.s.stur's robed arm appeared before him and swept over him, like a blanket thrown over him.

Almost instantly the area changed, as Jack could no longer see the theater, and heard a.s.stur continue from the side of him.

"If you want, I can provide all that could ever behold! Knowledge is it?! That's why so many seek my brother... BEHOLD! The Library of Carcosa!"

Jack looked on to see rows and rows of books... All of which were in various states of decay, but the area, in all of its gold-hued glory continued well out of sight. He even seemed that they were underground, as Jack could tell that there was no light, he wondered how it was illuminated. His eyes traced the numerous shelves of books lined done the endless corridor. Jack could also see many yellow slime-people moving and slinky along within the endless abyssal library. With the many tables and chairs, it seemed these slimes were learning from these decrepit tomes.

Again, a.s.stur's robes swept Jack, as his surroundings changed.

"Power?! I can lend the forces of Carcosa! BEHOLD the standing army of my Pallid Mask!"

Jack looked out into blond wastes to see unending numbers of yellow slimes lined up in formations. Other otherworldly contraptions, that Jack suspected to be armored weapons of some sort of tanks, lined up as well. This seemed to be some type of invasion force... Panic slowly filtered into the mind of Jack... It was one thing to contend with an Eldritch G.o.d... It was another to see the power they wielded as a physical object instead of some abstract concept.

Before Jack could raise a question, a.s.stur's robes fluttered again, and his surroundings followed.

"Personal Power?! I can give you the secrets to the Tome of the Yellow Sign!" Jack found that he was within some type of temple, and a large pale mustard-colored book laid upon a podium at the head of the temple. So large the tome on the podium that was open appeared as if a football game could be played on the pages, but a G.o.d or an army?

Again, the robe blanketed Jack's sight, as his surroundings changed.

"Mortal Women!? Name the woman, and she'll be yours within the hour!" a.s.stur's voice boomed, though it seemed that it wasn't heard by those in front of them. Jack found that he was staring at a harem of ladies. They all seemed to be bored as if waiting for something. All kinds of females where presently represented here. Jack was excited to see the fabled "Cat-Girls!" Her ears were on the top of her head, and she yawned lazily, as she along with others of her kind stretched their waists. There were other types of half-human type females, wolves, dragons, centaur, of course, humans, there were even skeletal female undead, zombies, and what Jack thought was a witch by the motif apparel. There were ladies of all ages, of very young appearance that Jack questioned mortality, and those of an advanced age and those in between. Those that seemed to be of a more artful type, and those that appeared to be extremely capable. Where was this? Jack wondered.

a.s.stur chuckled seeing a reaction of Jack, but he flipped his robe nevertheless and covered the two, as he continued, " Riches!? The Vaults of Carcosa can be turned out today!"

Jack found that again his surroundings changed, and again he looked at endless fields of gold, glowstone, and amber diamonds... The amber diamonds were so abundant that it seemed to be like the sand on a beach to an ocean of glowstone. Jack could feel the pull of the glowstone as if it called to him.

a.s.stur nodded, and flicked his robes, "Lands?! Name any place in the cosmos, and I can show you the way."

Jack's vision flickered as different places flashed his vision. Tangled overgrown walkways made of plants suspended over a dark lush jungle teeming with life. A large mountain that seemed to be made of Clockwork gears, as it moved and clanked, steam spouted from the top like a volcano erupting with ashe, and lands surrounding it ran with refined bra.s.s, as robotic looking beings forged various wares. An endless Ocean with life so bizarre that it seemed more alien that nature, with various large creatures of the sea erupting from the surface, as strange calls were made to agitate each other. A wasteland irradiated by harsh sun rays but glittered with precious metals and stones... What life was seen was the toughest that Jack had seen thus far, as armored beetles fought with dinosaur looking reptiles the size of houses.

The images started to come much too far... Must faster than Jack could keep up... Until...

Endless fields of green gra.s.s, large hearty cities populated with humans. A sun that s.h.i.+ned down with a golden radiance, and robust looking mountains and seas... Fertile and inviting… Almost… Nostalgic.

"Yes... This is the Overworld of your Underworld." a.s.stur's voice filtered into Jack's mind.

Then the scene changed again, as Jack found he was back at the entrance of Carcosa, the yellow city of madness.

"I've shown you what there is to gain... It is but a parlor's trick to provide any of these that you desire... I just need that Dark Young."
